Max Wilco posted:So I've played about 5 hours of Darktide across the past couple days, and...it seems pretty solid! Glad you're having fun with it! I will say that anyone who hits max level on a class and then just sits in Sedition is a psycho or just doesn't want to actually engage with the game while purging some heretics. Once you get into the swing of the game and pick up the right habits, the higher difficulties are worth getting into running for many reasons. The main reason is that Damnation (the 5th difficulty) runs are genuinely fun and challenging in a good way. They also provide the best source of the crafting mats, with 2.5x the amount of possible mats to find compared to Heresy (4s). Thus there's good reason to dip your toes in and get used to Damnation as well as it being fun. All the balance discussion you will see in the thread for what is viable and what isn't revolves around Damnation enemy health. Any difficulty below that it's meaningless to talk about balance outside extreme outliers, especially since it seems pretty clear Fatshark balances around Damnation in general. P.S.: Having over 600+ hours in Darktide, I only learned within the last month that the cash cosmetic shop run by Hallowette actually has three pages of cosmetics when you go to the class specific pages. There's arrows on the sides you can click! You can see the two previous rotations of cosmetics in edition to the current one! Wow!

The overpopulation of Veterans is much less noticeable in Damnation, as well. Dunno why; maybe console vets get stuck at lower difficulties.

Legit Businessman posted:You have one of each class and 2 zealots with your 5 character slots? Yeah. All level 30, except my new Zealot who is has managed two gain two levels despite having group wipe after wipe at level 4 difficulty. I tried a level 3 and I forgot just how difficult newb groups can make things like shooting at demonhosts, and how you much your toughness recovery options depend on your teammates who are preordained by some divine madness to hold the W key whenever they see a gunner. If I fail to dodge the 6th trapper shot, I may as well leave since the odds of recovery are zilch.

Max Wilco posted:Difficulty-wise, the first two setting seem a little too easy from what I played. The first game of Malice I played, we got wiped out. The second (and third?) went fine, though I got downed a few times and died. I imagine once you hit the level cap, playing on Sedition makes for a fun, super-casual time, but until then, the EXP payout doesn't seem worth it. I finally rolled up a psyker a couple weeks ago and it was my first time playing Sedition since the game released. I'd describe the experience as the very opposite of casual because it seemed like every match was the first time a new player encountered a daemonhost. And, thus, the first time a new player got us all into a fight with the daemonhost.

I know there's technically ways to beat the daemonhost with an Ogryn but I wish they'd stop trying to do it and just avoid the thing instead.

The game tries to group you with similarly leveled people, if at all possible. When I did malice as a level 30 (when you need that last contract) I was grouped with other level 30s. Now when I join them I get paired with level 9s. It tends to be a weird experience when you know you have to be on top of your game because you can't one shot fodder like you're used to, and the people you're with panic or just plain get lost

Bear in mind that you aren't actually limited to 5 slots: https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/209?tab=description The limitation is entirely client side and that mod expands it to 8. There's theoretically no limit, but the mod author decided to keep it low so as not to incur any potential Fatshark wrath.

That seems like a recipe for losing your characters, though. I use that mod for loadout slots, but who cares if those get deleted.

Vermintide has had seasonal events like for Halloween. But yeah, darktide just had an anniversary event so I wouldn't expect anything for Christmas.

Dunno where these cowardly stealth Zealots are. They should be running past the enemy lines to trigger monstrosities and brining them back to their already pinned group, as I do, like a good Zealot.

I've got no real issue with Veteran players in general, but for some reason if they're wearing the "beta" helmet, there's a chance I'm in for a bad time as they scrape every corner for ammo/scriptures/grims. Also ignoring all medicae stations. I swear I've never seen a full health bar next to a player icon with the Vet beta helmet.

So I haven't used the Veteran talents to improve your medkit and ammo crate. I don't *think* the veteran with those talents needs to be the one to deploy it, right? Do they have to be in coherency? Anywhere but still alive? On the team live or dead? (Also reason number a billion to hate grimoires is that if a veteran has the improved medkit talent, a grim's corruption will repeatedly heal itself and return, draining the medkit for absolutely zero gain in short order.)

The veteran does need to be alive and not captured for the super boxes to work. Coherency doesn't matter.

Correct, if one vet has the talent for those medkit/ammo crate upgrades (and is alive), anyone in the group deploying such a crate regardless of coherency will be deploying a "supercrate"
